COURSE: 2 ORGANIZATION: 3 FANS: 1 First Wineglass Marathon and traveled 9+ hours driving to participate. In short, I was very underwhelmed and wouldn't recommend it unless you live in the area. The Pro's: Well organized in terms of busses to the start, porta-potties and the finish line experience. The Con's: I was with a group that missed a turn in the race because there wasn't a volunteer or course official at that corner and added on .75mi to my race distance - I consider this unacceptable. Secondly, I found the course to be very boring. In my mind I was thinking 'Finger Lakes' in reality was farm & highway views. Lastly, the race was very expensive and I personally didn't feel like the value was worth the entry fee - just my opinion. The course is fast if that is what you are looking for...but above all else the race director should be supremely concerned about runners making the correct turns. | |

COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 3 Such a well organized marathon. Very scenic area with great restaurants. Everything went so smoothly. Great finishing area with lots of food and free massages. I lost my medal at the massage table and they mailed me another one no problem! Terrific organizers. Would definitely recommend this friendly race. | |

| 1 Wineglass Marathon
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 4 Wineglass Marathon is a very well organized race. The heated buses to the start are great. Loved the tents near the start, with plenty of chairs to sit and stay warm. The coarse itself is a nice downhill with a couple slight inclines. The 3:50 pacer Paul Lee was amazing!! He kept quite an even pace throughout the race. When I cramped at mile 25, he motivated me to keep moving and helped me PR and BQ! Thanks Paul!! | |

First Marathon
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 4 Please put a sign up the road, closer to the turn onto the finish road. This way half marathon runners can move to the left side of the road and out of the way of marathon runners trying to race to the finish line. | |

COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 4 Just a few things to add to all of the positive comments below: Finding parking in downtown Corning on race morning is quite easy - no need to stress. Great organization of start lines, including places to stay warm and plenty of bathrooms. Excellent course marking, water stops, medical stations - no stress here either. Small expo but cool swag (small bottle of champagne, a wine glass, technical LS quarter zip shirt, and coupons to local stores). Unique glass medal at the finish. Finish line is in a great spot too. What a fun race! | |

| 1 Wineglass Marathon
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 4 This was my 48th state and my 68th marathon so I've run a few. This was among the most organized and well-run events I have ever run. There was never a moment when I had to second guess if I was in the right place or going the right direction. There were signs leading to the packet pick up. There were tons of volunteers helping us get to and on the buses. And yes, it can get a bit quiet along the course (which I don't mind), but it was well marked with volunteers at critical intersections. 2018 was cold and drizzly. There was hot soup and so many volunteers ready to help runners who may have had problems with the cold. The organizers thought of everything. I am nowhere near BQ anymore, but I still posted the best time I have had in years. Nice medal and love the quarter zip shirt. Highly recommend this one. | |

| 1 Wineglass Marathon
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 4 This race is everything a marathon should be. Great organization, terrific local support and a great course. The organizers have really put together a great event and they do all the little things right. Things I like about this race: plentiful free parking right near the bus loading area, lots of volunteers directing traffic, excellent expo, point-to-point race with half-marathon at separate starting point, really good food after the race (pizza, hot soup, bagels, etc), cool medal, downhill course through small towns and a really nice long-sleeve shirt. My hot tip for the race - when you get off the bus at the start, go right to the maintenance shed and grab a chair next the large heater. The tent right next to the start gets crowded, but there is plenty of room in the large building just a few hundred yards away. Corning is a really nice little town, so give yourself time to tour the glass museum. There are also lots of good bars and restaurants if you stick around town. | |

| 1 Wineglass Marathon
COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 4 Ran this race to BQ after hearing it was a fast run. Despite the cold temperatures (mid-40's) along with freezing rain, was able to do so! I highly commend the race volunteers and organizers, it was extremely well organized and everyone was very helpful and friendly. The course is fast and easy, with maybe one hill of note. Race day temps can be cold (at least for me) which can be a challenge. The scenery is just OK - with some very pretty parts and others more isolated and along the highway. Expo is awesome, and the race day gear is great - a wineglass, glass medal, and a cool zip-up. Definitely recommend this race. | |

| 1 Wineglass Marathon
COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 4 This is a race that I had long heard great things about. Was looking forward to it and ran it with a bad back. The race kit pick up is at the Corning Glass Museum. Pick up goes until 7 pm. The museum looks good but I got to the place late due to a late morning massage at the last minute. You get a bottle of Champagne at the pick up and a good selection of vendors. The course is down hill with maybe a half a dozen noticeable inclines. Great food at the finish including chocolate milk, pizza and chill as well as bagels, cookies and bananas and apples. A good race for beginners and well worth driving to the NE for. | |

| 3 Wineglass Marathons
COURSE: 3 ORGANIZATION: 4 FANS: 3 I ran Wineglass in 2000, and thought I'd stop back for the 2017, one of my favorites. As expected, some things have been updated and changed. Busses take runners to the start line. Once there, you have the option of three heated areas to stay warm. There's also a lot of ports potties, short lines for most of the time. The field was much bigger than the last time I ran Wineglass. For the first 5 miles of the marathon, runners are corralled between highway cone on one side, and culvert on the other side. Way to many runners for this way to thin road. I saw many runners trip over the cones, and get tripped up by the culverts. There's only two options: 1) Open up the entire road (for at least the first 5 miles) for runners. 2) Reduce the field size. Waterstops were plentiful and well staffed. There were a few unmanned crossroads towards the end of the race. The drivers were nice enough to wait for us to cross the roads. The Finish line festivities were well done. There was a great selection of hot and cold foods, and a few different drinks. So my only big concern is the first 5 miles of the race it's much too big for the space allotted. Actually, it's a little dangerous |
